It looks like the Left is very upset at Donald Trump for an anti-woke military ad he released recently.
As Forbes headlines in their YouTube caption, Trump is "attacking LGTBQ+ inclusion in the military" with this video that shows drag queens, Rachel Levine, and other LGBT and woke corruption juxtaposed with scenes from Stanley Kubrick's Vietnam war film Full Metal Jacket.
OOOOOOOHHHH, BREAKING NEWS!!!
Here's the ad Trump played at his Scranton, PA, rally last week:
It's so insane what's happened to our military that Trump, when showing this ad at a rally, capped it off with his hope that the video is "a little bit exaggerated."
But, no, those are all real members of the military. And it could have included even more.
But lefties are ticked because Trump used clips from Full Metal Jacket, an anti-war film, to promote his strong non-woke military message.
Like Trump said, hopefully a little exaggerated.
But surely, after seeing those comments, this isn't something that the one and only Stanley Kubrick would have wanted, right?
Well, Kubrick's daughter chimed in to give the answer that is going to cause the left to seethe.
Here's the epic takedown in full:
Here are my thoughts: I agree in principle that an anti-war movie is incongruous with promoting the idea of a tough non-woke US military and thus war itself - however - these are very dangerous and strange times and thus using this footage is doubtless pure expedience.
Because I'm sure the irony of using FMJ footage is not lost on Trump or his team - Trump is always seeking to end wars and use peaceful methods. However, that's primarily what FMJ is about, the shocking and complicated paradoxes of human nature.
And thus, on this tooth and claw planet, you need a very strong military - so I'm going to stick with the idea that FMJ footage was used primarily because of its powerful, realistic portrayal of boot camp, juxtaposed with the entirely demoralizing and inappropriate injection of WOKE ideology into the USA military. Which I agree with myself and which I'm certain my father would have agreed with.
She acknowledges that it's ironic to use an anti-war film to promote a strong military, HOWEVER, she thinks that a woke military is actually insane, so using the footage in this way makes perfect sense.
Not only that, she assures us that the director himself would agree with Trump's message.
Truthfully, I believe my father (who supported Reagan), would very much approve of saving America, indeed the world, from the highly destructive Globalist forces threatening to take over this planet. And if that footage from FMJ helps Trump make the point that the US military needs properly trained, super tough, focused, dedicated warriors, and not introduce the demoralizing effects of woke-ism, and attracting people to join up simply to have their sexual reassignments paid for, then Trump has my blessing.
Finally, knowing my father very well, I can assure you he had a profound grasp of how paradoxical human nature is! Which accounts for how at the same time he made anti-war films, he had a great passion for guns (self-defense not hunting) and he had quite a few!
My father had a great respect for life - his movies being unimpeachable evidence of his love for life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness! So on that basis, I feel very confident he would be a Trump supporter and would forgive using FMJ incongruously, if it helps the cause of freedom!
Capisce?
Sorry, wokies, but it looks like Kubrick's daughter isn't gonna let your fake outrage hold the floor for long.
